High operational efficiency

Available with a full glass inner door or optional stainless and glass multi-level door. Inner chamber has rounded corners to make cleanup easy providing a cleaner environment.

Visibility and accuracy

Easy to read display. Automatic CO2 and O2 sensor calibration every 7 to 10 days.

Port for testing environmental gas level

External sample port for testing environmental gas level without opening the outer door.

Access port is standard in the back of the incubator for running shakers or mixers inside the chambers.

Stackable feature is available for all our CO2 incubators. Saving precious lab space is essential in planning layouts in your current labs and preparing for possible future expansions.
